http://pysch.sourceforge.net/ast.html I was going to write a long reply to one of your previous messages, but the above link references a project which may intersect with some of your expectations. Meanwhile, it should be noted that the availability of Python AST processing tools is not a recent thing: the compiler module has been around for a long time, and it is possible to modify the AST and to generate bytecode from it; my own experiments have centred on producing other representations from the AST, and other more successful projects (eg. ShedSkin) produce other languages (eg. C++) from the AST. Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
